Love Alone
Odessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you fall down and life gets hard
Oh, but it's easier to be alone
To know love and feel it gone
All my friends have been telling me
Telling me that you're no good
And babe I'm starting to believe
I've been waiting all my life
For somebody to rescue me
Oh, but this path that I choose to take
Is walked alone more easily
Do I keep on moving on?
Giving up and letting go of love?
Now love is a simple thing
Or when it's right it should be
Oh, but I have yet to find
The real thing, the simple kind
I just keep on singing my song
Dreaming my dreams and walking alone
Until the right one comes, who can sing along
Can sing along
Who can sing along to my song
Who can sing along
Nobody likes to be alone
When you fall down and life gets hard
The lyrics of Odessa's song, "Love Alone" explores the bittersweet feeling of being in love and being alone at the same time. The opening line, "Nobody likes to be alone" highlights the universal nature of human beings who crave companionship, especially during tough times. However, the singer reflects on how being alone is easier because it hurts less to know the feeling of love and to feel it fading away. This line shows how the fear of being hurt can make people settle for loneliness instead of taking risks in relationships.
The second verse talks about how the singer's friends have been warning her about the person she's in love with, and the more she loves them, the more they leave her alone. This line may point to how some people can be emotionally unavailable or afraid of commitment, leaving their partners feeling alone in a relationship. The next verse sees the singer contemplating whether to keep moving on, giving up, and letting go of love.
The chorus, "Now love is a simple thing or when it's right, it should be," shows how the singer believes that love should not be complicated or painful. However, she hints that she's yet to find the real thing, the simple kind of love that feels effortless. The final verse sees the singer resolving to keep singing her song, dreaming her dreams, and walking alone until the right one comes along. In conclusion, the lyrics of "Love alone" are solemn and melancholic, yet hopeful, reflecting on the struggles of finding love and the resilience needed to keep going.
Line by Line Meaning
Nobody likes to be alone
Being alone is not a desirable situation for anyone
When you fall down and life gets hard
When life becomes difficult and you need support
Oh, but it's easier to be alone
However, it can be easier and safer to be alone than risk getting hurt
To know love and feel it gone
Experiencing love and then losing it can be very painful
All my friends have been telling me
My friends are warning me
Telling me that you're no good
Telling me that you are not a good person
And babe I'm starting to believe
I am starting to believe it
Cause the more I love, the more you leave me alone
Whenever I express love for you, you seem to distance yourself from me
I've been waiting all my life
I have waited a long time
For somebody to rescue me
I have been hoping for someone to save me from loneliness
Oh, but this path that I choose to take
However, I have chosen to take this path on my own
Is walked alone more easily
It is easier to walk this path alone
Do I keep on moving on?
Should I continue on this path?
Giving up and letting go of love?
Should I stop pursuing love and accept being alone?
Now love is a simple thing
Love should be easy and straightforward
Or when it's right it should be
If it's the right love, it should be easy
Oh, but I have yet to find
But I haven't found it yet
The real thing, the simple kind
The true and uncomplicated form of love that I seek
I just keep on singing my song
I continue to express myself through music
Dreaming my dreams and walking alone
I keep dreaming and pursuing my goals on my own
Until the right one comes, who can sing along
Until I find the right person who can understand and share my dreams
Can sing along
Can join me in my journey
Who can sing along to my song
Who can understand and relate to me on a deep level
Nobody likes to be alone
Repeating the idea that being alone is not desirable
When you fall down and life gets hard
Repeating the idea that during tough times, you need someone to lean on
